As if all this holiday consumerism wasn't bad enough, this from the New York Times. Analysis of census data describes college freshmen's reasons for going to college:
"In 1970, 79 percent said their goal was developing a meaningful philosophy of life. By 2005, 75 percent said their primary objective was to be financially very well off."
Not even just well off...very well off. There's a life philosophy for you! And something tells me it's not a uniquely American phenomenon, either.
